Because there is no "identity" to be had at the Gap or Walmart or on MTV

Am I mistaken or arent most immigrants white? For the record, no American truly has an identity since we continually seperate ourselves by skin tone. Thank our government and Abraham Lincoln for that. Your white, I am black, she is asian, they are hispanic, he is native born. Who gives a sh*t??? Americans only see one color, "Green," the color of money. Read your money, "In God We Trust." I could care less what color hand is cutting my checks for me so long as they have the correct commas and decimal points. Wise up! By 2050 the world will be majority brown and dark skinned again so we better learn to get along with each other. Say the world have all black people, we would still find a way to seperate ourselves whether if be by height, weight, fat, skinny, humans are selfish and shallow like that.
Even Hitler began to split hairs on whom was more white then who which would have led to an eventual race war in Germany.
To sum things up, whites are in the same boat as the rest of us and are not lining up to act or look as black as me despite tanning and cosmetic surgery. They know they are still white and choose not to forget.

Personally, I find a white (or any other race) guy or gal 'talking, acting ghetto' ridiculous! Why don't they act Asian (how DOES one 'act' Asian..hehe?) or Hispanic, or some other ethnicity? It's about as real as speaking with a phony French or Italian accent (ever hear some nut trying to speak with an Afrikaans accent? No? Me either).
Ok, NOW you can call me an ignorant racist, bigoted pig. AHAHAHAHA

We are simply trying to absorb some of the coolness of the other cultures. Statistics that I made up prove that white people are the least cool beings on the planet.

Kinda racist, don't you think? After all, this country's foundation is immigrant based. That being said, some of the kids these days look pretty stupid with their pants hangin low, but you need to be tolerant. As long as they are not disrepectful, let them do as they please.

Turn that around. Would you say black and immigrant kids aren't being themselves if they aren't fitting the stereotypes you have of them?

The only way to keep whites from picking up non-white culture is to keep them from ever seeing it. I'd love to know how you propose to accomplish that.
